North Korea's state-run media has also released a detailed report about Saturday's snap inter-Korean summit.<br />It says Seoul and Pyongyang will hold a string of talks next month... and that Kim Jong-un is determined to go ahead with his June 12th summit with President Trump.<br />Oh Jung-hee has the details. <br /> Pyongyang's Korean Central Television aired seven minutes of footage Sunday morning from the second Moon-Kim summit.<br />The background music was familiar to all Koreans: a song called "Our Hope is Reunification."<br /><br /> "After just 29 days, another meeting of great importance has been held between the highest leaders of the North and the South at the historic site of Panmunjom."<br /><br /> The North Korean report said... the two Koreas will hold a string of talks with each other as soon as possible,... starting with the high-level talks on June 1st.<br />It also said... the two leaders agreed to meet and talk face to face as often as possible to achieve denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.<br /> Then the report highlighted Kim Jong-un's strong will to go ahead with his summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.<br /><br /> "Kim Jong-un thanked President Moon Jae-in for working so hard for the North Korea-U.S. summit slated for June 12th, and expressed his determination that the historic summit go ahead."<br /><br /> Kim suggested that the two Koreas work together to improve Pyongyang-Washington relations.<br />With talks underway between the North and the U.S., there is still hope for a summit to happen on June 12th, but Kim's remarks are seen as part of efforts to make sure that it does.<br /><br /> Differently from South Korean President Moon Jae-in's own announcement on Sunday, the North Korean report brought up inter-Korean relations first... and then the North Korea-U.S. summit.<br />This is viewed by some as the North putting more weight on inter-Korean relations,... wanting to resolve other issues on the foundation of strong relations with Seoul.<br /><br /> Pyongyang said Moon and Kim, in their meeting, reached a "satisfactory consensus."<br />The report said... this second summit opens up a new chapter in the development of inter-Korean relations.<br />Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News. <br />
